Thanks for all the advice chaps,but I have decided to give up the building of kits :sad: ,as you may know I have struggled with the gentlemans scale for awhile now and [ due to not being able to work full time because of my wifes health issues] the bigger scales are beyond my reach,I will now get my "fix as it were" by reading and looking at other modellers work.I have enjoyed being part of such a friendly forum.
Regards
celt.

Hi celt sorry to hear of your issue, I have chronic arthritic problems and I spend a lot of time just reading the banter and advice passed about on here, It is worth staying on, even if its just to see the work, and even artforms passed on in these pages. Hope all goes well for you.

Best regards
George.
p.s. you are the recipicant of my longest ever post :)

Yr wyf yn gobeithio y byddwn yn eich gweld o gwmpas y fforwm ac y byddwch yn cadw mewn cysylltiad

(which according to Google Translate should be: I hope we will see you around the forum and that you will keep in touch)

All the best mate! Don't be a stranger :grin:
Best wishes

I'm saddened to hear your news Celt. I can only wish you and your wife the best.

I would happily dig through my dwindling stash of 1/48 kits and mail one to you if you would be of a mind to keep your hand in the hobby. I recently did a purge of my 1/48 monogram kits, put them on the sidewalk for the neighbor kids to pick through. I kept a few but will be pleased to send you one.
If the idea appeals to you...... PM me your post info and I send one your way.
Hang tough my friend !

Don't give it up celt. Us Welshmen are rare on the forum and you don't want to leave me all on my lonesome.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Let me know if you change your mind. The cost of posting is of no concern.
